Rosalie was known for her incredible baking skills, a true artisan in the kitchen. Her crowning achievement came when she participated in the Toledo Edison Bake-Off, earning herself a place to compete at the Ohio State Fair, where her chocolate cake from scratch earned her a well-deserved second place. While she generously shared her recipes with her loved ones, no one could quite replicate the magic she infused into baked goods especially her famous zucchini bread.
